Just a quick one..

We had the most awesome rainbow last week,

it was so vibrant and colourful..

I went for a drive to get a pic that didnt have other peoples houses in it

but it was gone by the time i got there :(

So i took these pics while i was there instead.

Love the reflections in the water in this one..


*********************

These are just a couple more pics from our photo shoot..
Some of my faves..
God I love these kids!!!


Not much happening around here lately..

The weather has been so much nicer,,

in the 20's mostly intead of the 40's like it has was... Blah!

We moved our room into Tani's this week,

ready to renovate ours...

It's a tight squeeze in the little back room with our king size bed,

bedside table's and

Zayne's cot and change table..

Not to mention the built in and the 2 door's leading in/out of the room!!!!

I can't wait to move back... :)

I am pretty much organised for christmas,

still have a few lay-by's to get out and a couple of things to get for extended family,

but that's it..

I love being organised, don't know why I haven't tried it before LMAO!

Looks like we are in for a quiet one this year,

think we will have quiet picnic lunch somewhere with just us

and then out to Craig and Teeg's for dinner,

with a mixture of our family and Tegan's family..

I can't wait...

am so looking forward to relaxing,

not having to rush around getting here and there!!

Just enjoying the day with my lovely little family.... :)

That's it from me,

might try and get a little bit of scrapping done before I head to bed!!

Xmas photoshoot piccies

We went for a drive up bush to take the kids xmas photoshoot pics this year..

Usually I just take them out the back next to the shed but it had spiderwebs all over it and I didnt really feel like cleaning it lol..

I am so happy with the place i picked to take the pics,

even if i was standing in the middle of the track..

I took sooooo many pics, and ended up with 72 that I LOVE!!

could have been more but i restricted myself to not picking too many that were quite similar..

these are just a few of my faves..

Love the way the teddy is caught on the edge of the pic here while he was on his way out.. poor teddies must have been a bit camera shy, they didnt stay for long!! lol
My fave group shot...
Not perfect, but that was never going to happen, was it....

Such a cheeky bugger, you can just see the mischief in his eyes!!

^^^^ LOVE this one of Zayne^^^^

think it was my fave pic out of all of them...

and of course i found something pretty to take a pic of!!

Some Layouts

I have scrapped 11 pages in the last 5 days or so!!!

For me that is a massive achievement,

it usually takes me a couple of days to do one....

All of the pages I have done are 8.5" x 11",

I am LOVING that size, they are so quick and easy to do..

I have only uploaded 5,

don't want to bore whoever may be having a looksie,

although i'm not sure if anyone does??

Please leave me a comment if you have been here!!!

:D PLEASE lol

Weekend Away @ Bermi

We went away to Bermi for the weekend,

because Mark had a long weekend at work..

The weather was good,

a bit cold and windy on the friday but otherwise it was good!!

Got to test drive my new camera which was even better :D

These are just a few of my faves,

just randomly picked

and in no particular order..

Gorgeous little pic of Zayne..

He wasn't sure about the beach,

the waves scared him and i dont think he liked the

feel of the sand under his feet.

He loved it after the initial dislike though..

This one of Tani was taken on the beach as well...

she was building sandcastles.

I had a play with the settings on this one

to get the brightness and blurry background...

Just a random..

We went for a drive down to cuttagee and there were a pair of shoes

on the poles next to the steps, one on each pole..

lol

Jed helping his brother out in the water..

Once Zayne went in he didnt want to get out,

he just kept going back for more..

and he chucked a tanty when it was time to go.. :(

Tani and Jed.

Playing on the play equipment at the school

while we were at the spring fair.

Jed at the beach.. played with settings again
At the school

Little tootsies at the beach..

arent they fat and cute!

At the beach, not sure about it all!

These are really just a few,

have sooo many favourites.

New Camera

I got a new camera!! Woo hoo....... :D

I have been looking at them for so long,

and wanting one for so long...

and now I have one!! YAY

These are just some basic pics, have been reading the book,

taking a few pics, trying to learn how to use it a bit better..

I still find it amazing how blond Zayne's hair is in photo's,

lol he doesn't have blond hair!!

Some Scrapping.

Have done a few pages lately

It's been so long since I took pics of my pages

they are all very crooked, blurry and just not the best.

Not very chatty today,

it's just one of them days,

the weather is shit, raining, muggy, sweaty and just blah.

Makes for a crappy, unmotivated day.

and my kids are driving me bonkers :8(

Now He's ONE

We celebrated Zayne's first birthday and his Naming Day last saturday..

The weather held off for it and it was a lovely afternoon in the park with family and friends.

I was a bit worried it would rain through as it has been non stop for weeks on end... :-(

Just a few quick things this month as he really hasn't changed much in a month..

Zayne is:

• Now 13.82kg
• 81cm long
• Walking/running very well and non stop
• Always on the go..
• Now standing up his own in the middle of the room. Started doing that a month ago after his 11 month post.
• So funny, always has us cacking ourselves over the funny things he does.
• Very loving. Loves to give cuddles, and does the pat on the back thing while he is doing it lol. I don't get them very often but everyone else does... :(
• Totally obsessed with remotes, computer "mouses" and phones....
• Loves anything with a cord attatched and will walk around with it for hours on end.. eg, his toy phone, Tani's lovely pink toy phone, mega-sketcher, old telstra phone. He cracks it when they get caught on something though.
• Sporting a very bashed up looking forehead this week.. Had a couple of incidents that left him with some bruises and grazes... :(
• Has really learn't what "NO" and "TA" mean. Doesn't always care lol, but he knows...
• Still needs alot of attention, he has most definately been my most demanding baby.
• 2 - 3 bottles per day, and 3 meals. Loves his weet-bix, yoghurt and veggies.
• Loves his bath time each night, still a massive fight getting him dressed.
• Still only 4 teeth... Thaught he would have some more by now as he goes through "teething" alot. They just take forever to appear!

He is just so lovely, and I love him to bits..

A couple of piccies from his day.

Don't like the way they make wrapping paper these days,

Dont know how many times Zayne choked on it....

With his Beach Nanny^^

All the godparents^^

Tegan, Craig, Sheri and Muli.

Unfortunately didnt get any nice pics with Me and Mark and Zayne,

just havent thaught to take one, but didnt with the other 2 either... :(

Aaaaw I love this pic... So happy to wander on his own! (outside... lol)

I made these as his party bags..

They looked great, but oh what a pain to make lol.

Me and my big ideas........

I miss you my babies!!!

I took this pic before Tani and Zayne left for Mum's at Bermi

yesterday (thursday) morning.

I really didn't want them to go, and I cried and cried.

Dumb I know but I couldn't help it :(

Love you and Miss you both sooooo much!!

They will be there for around a week.

I'm hoping it will go fast coz I am going to be quite busy.

I have worked the last 2 days.

Camping tomorrow night.

Hopefully floriade monday.

Possibly working tuesday, lol who knows these days.

and helping Karen get her new shop ready to open!

Only a week to go and my gorgeous little bubba is one!
